<span>Let the original number of seats in a row be x;
</span>Let the number rows be y;

( x + 3) * (y - 2 )= 72 and x * y = 72 => 72 + 3 * y - 2 * x = 72 => 3 * y = 2 * x;
=> x is divisible by 3;

1. x = 3 => y = 72 / 3 => y = 24;
2. x = 6 => y = 72 / 6 => y = 12;
3. x = 9 => y = 72 / 9 => y = 8;
4. x = 12 => y = 72 / 12 =. y = 6;
5. x = 24 =. y = 72 / 24 => y = 3;
6. x = 36 => y = 72 / 36 => y = 2;
7. x = 72 => y = 72 / 72 => y = 1;

My analysis tell me that the right answer is 9 seats in a row and 8 rows;
The original number in each row is 9.

How many equivalence relations are there on the set 1, 2, 3]?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

We need to find how many number of equivalence relations are on the set {1,2,3}

A relation is an equivalence relation if it is reflexive, transitive and symmetric.

equivalence relation R on {1,2,3}

1.For reflexive, it must contain (1,1),(2,2),(3,3)

2.For transitive, it must satisfy: if (x,y)∈R then (y,x)∈R

3. For symmetric, it must satisfy: if (x,y)∈R,(y,z)∈R then (x,z)∈R

Since (1,1),(2,2),(3,3) must be there is R, (1,2),(2,1),(2,3),(3,2),(1,3),(3,1). By symmetry,

we just need to count the number of ways in which we can use the pairs (1,2),(2,3),(1,3) to construct equivalence relations.

This is because if (1,2) is in the relation then (2,1) must be there in the relation.

the relation will be an equivalence relation if we use none of these pairs (1,2),(2,3),(1,3) . There is only one such relation: {(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)}

we can have three possible equivalence relations:

{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(1,2),(2,1)}

{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(1,3),(3,1)}

{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(2,3),(3,2)}

A bakery sold 36 brownies in a day, which was 30% of the total items sold that day. What was the total number of items the baker
babymother [125]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 36 is 30% of total items

So our equation would be 36/? = 30/100

From there we cross multiply so 36x100 = 3600

From there, we divide 3600 by 100

Therefore, your answer is 120
